Gender and Health in Adolescence

Abstract: The series Health Policy for Children and Adolescents (‎HEPCA)‎ is a WHO document series mainly based on results of the international survey “Health Behaviour in School-aged Children” (‎HBSC)‎ and on other relevant international studies. It focuses on the implications of scientific results for health policy in developed countries. The target groups are politicians and experts, especially those concerned with the health of young people. The HEPCA series consists of reports on particular topics of high political relevance, including survey data on child and adolescent health, reports on specific health situations and suggestions for future investment in health policies for the young generation.
